Any way to build a solution without using "lock" feature?

But you can't set any kind of ID without a 'lock', though? Until you 'lock' the ship, the notepad won't take any input - it just displays a few things (usually, whatever you updated before the lock dropped).

I mean, I really don't have a problem with the process as it is aside from the cheesy 'lock' feature. If I could just enter things into the notepad, and derive my TDC input from that, I'd be a happy camper - that actually simulates very well how the captain and XO work on the solution (captain looking through the scope and calling out numbers, which the XO jots down to work into the firing computer).

It's just that...this doesn't seem to WORK.
